EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts a lively schoolchildren's parade in Thessaloniki, Greece, circa 1920. The vibrant procession winds its way through the bustling streets of this historic city, with the iconic White Tower standing proudly in the background. The White Tower, a symbol of Thessaloniki's rich history, has been a landmark of the city since the Byzantine era. The young scholars, dressed in their pristine uniforms and waving colorful flags and banners, proudly represent their schools as they march past. The girls, dressed in white blouses and navy blue skirts, carry flowers and books, while the boys wear shorts and shirts adorned with their school insignia. The joy and excitement on their faces reflect the spirit of the festival, as they celebrate their shared sense of community and learning. Thessaloniki, also known as Salonica or Thessalonika, is Greece's second-largest city and a melting pot of diverse cultures. The city's rich history is reflected in its architectural wonders, such as the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman structures that can be found throughout its streets. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life of the city's schoolchildren over a century ago.
